question about local indexes

Table 'X'
Partitioned: 8 range partitions
Sub-Partition: 16 hash sub-partitions.
I created an index on the top level partition key as follows:
create index myindex on x (partition_column)
local (
p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6,p7,p8);
When I query user_ind_subpartitions I see:
select index_name,partition_name,subpartition_name
from user_ind_partitions
where index = 'MYINDEX'
myindex, p1, name of the tables sub-partitions ?
So is this index partitioned locally at the top level partition or is it
partitioned at the sub-partitioned level ?
